Allow Me to Be Happy

Chapter 8

At 7pm the Reza family arrived. Reza brought Om Arya and Aunt Lisa as a replacement for his parents, Farel the best friend and his parents who also participated in the group. The event took place with solemnity and felt family. This event was led by Mr. Iwan, the younger brother of Rena's father.

After the event was over and closed with a meal together, the two families now seemed to chat casually talking about Reza and Rena's wedding plans. Farel's parents decided to go home first because of Farel's slightly unhealthy condition. Seen sitting in the living room there are father and mother Rena, om Arya and aunt Lisa, Reza, Rena and Farel.

“So that's the sister you told to aunt yesterday Ren?” ask Aunt Lisa.

“Iya the aunt the Goddess. He studied in Jakarta, so Rena often returned to Bandung with him,” replied Rena.

“Lho kok the name of the Goddess brought. What's the matter?” asked the Goddess in wonder because she heard her name mentioned. Though Dewi has not known with aunt Lisa why she can know his name. At that time Dewi was with Dirga and Dirga's cousins from his father's side were sitting and told a little distance from the parent group.

“This was your Deck. Recognize this Aunt and her Om Mas Reza,” call Rena.

“Halo Aunt Om,” greet the Goddess while kissing the hands of Arya and Aunt Lisa. Then the Goddess sat between Ratna and Rena's mother.

“Tumben lo kalem,” said Farel who was a little surprised to see the Goddess who tonight is a little not much to say.

“Yes this is om om, I talk a lot wrong I am also wrong. What do you want?” ketus Goddess.

“Gue is just Dewdew.”

“Ih don't call Dewdew. Amused that Brother Farel called.”

“Lah lo kemaren who knows himself use Dewdew.”

“Yes if someone else calls me Dewdew that sounds funny cute cute cute cute that's cute, but what if Brother Farel who calls it ticklish is so with her.”

“Goddess has made a fuss and you are,” reprimand Ratna's mother who sits next to her.

“Dewi has been diem bu daritadi. He was the one who was fishing,” replied Dewi.

“Yes you are Farel like a child,” scold Aunt Lisa while hitting little thigh Farel.

“Rena recently told aunt Wi that she is in Jakarta living in her own boarding house. But if the holidays often nginap in his room you,” continued Aunt Lisa.

“Iya Aunty when Dewi was in college we still often walk or gather together. Sometimes with friends of the Goddess too. Only since Dewi koas is very rare. Time is sleep because,” said Dewi while crying.

“Where are you koas?” ask Aunt Lisa.

“At Harapan Bangsa Aunty Hospital,” replied Dewi.

“Don't Aunt, later Aunt bother because of Goddess. Goddess eat a lot of it Aunty. Ntar aunty rice supplies at home quickly exhausted,” said origin Dewi.

“Ya if you have bought the rice again Wi,” replied Aunt Lisa. Rena, Reza and Farel are only loyal listeners to see these people debate.

“Don't Aunt not feel good Goddess to Aunt. Dewi gapapa kok dikosan aja,” subtly reject Dewi.

“Why not good Wi. We are now a family of Wi,” continued Aunt Lisa again. Aunt Lisa looks towards Ratna's mother. “Jeng gapapa dewi nya stay with me only. Poor thing if the Goddess is sick no one knows if she is alone in her boarding house,” pinta Aunt Lisa to Ibu Ratna.

“Honestly I myself am happy if jeung Lisa would accept my daughter's house and Lisa. Sometimes I am also worried about the Goddess because compared to Rena, this Goddess is the most forgotten about eating and resting if you are cool with learning. And that has been a concern of ours lately. Rena inshaAllah there is Nak Reza who will take care of him. Goddess must again be alone,” continued Ms. Ratna.

“Bu, Kak Rena is also still in Jakarta Bu not far away very much gone. Why the Goddess must be titipin it is like a child. Lagian during this time also Goddess alone is safe,” complained Dewi.

“Yasapapa if Dewi does not want to stay at home Auntie. But promise yes often to play at the house of aunty,” said Aunt Lisa mediate.

“If the problem is insyaAllah safe Aunt.”

“Completed koas plan to take a specialist or directly work first Wi?” ask Om Arya.

“InsyAllah if you can his sustenance want to directly take a specialist, Om.”

“You have chosen to take a specialist where Om will charge you yes,” said Om Arya while glancing at his wife. Aunt Lisa nods a smile as a sign of agreeing to her husband's proposal.

The goddess who heard the tantalizing offer smiled. “Before thank you for Om want to charge school Dewi. But sorry Om, Dewi peg school because of the efforts of the Goddess herself,” reject the Goddess subtly.

Actually, the offer from Om Arya is really tempting for Dewi. How not, Dewi does not need to be tired to take care of the scholarship where he will compete from the many people who both want the scholarship.

But the Goddess has the principle not to trouble many people in her life. The experience of being abandoned by the family during his downturn made him not want to depend on others. He wanted to prove that he could succeed with his own hands.

“This Om offer is valid for long term. So think about Wi.”

“Well will Dewi think Om. Once again thanks Om.”

The conversation continued again. From the one about marriage, the school of Dewi and Dirga, to the chat about food recipes between Mother Ratna and Aunt Lisa. Reza's family group returned to the hotel where they were staying when the clock showed at 10 p.m.

Dewi went straight into the room he occupied and immediately rested because tomorrow morning finished dawn he will go straight home to Jakarta because he got a picket schedule during the day.
